"I agree with Sir Oru, but I think this test came not only from Earl Rackett, but also from our Viscount Ante." Edward's pupils quietly turned light blue in the light. This was the more common color of his pupils when he was thinking. "Although we are allied with the Unicorn Territory, in the end, Viscount Ante does not have enough trust in us. Of course, we don't need his trust to put Ante in the position of viscount. According to Lord Allen, it's to temporarily stabilize the hearts of the viscount. At the same time, it creates a moral barrier between us and Earl Rackett. "
"After all, if Ante is the lord, then any invasion by Earl Rackett is illegal and can be retaliated against. On the other hand, if the Unicorn Territory belonged to our territory and Daniel belonged to Rackett's vassal, then Rackett would be able to openly start a war under the banner of righteousness. " Edward said indifferently, "I have to admit that war is not a good option for us right now. It would be best to avoid a full-scale war with Rackett. That's why Lord Allen used Ante as a chess piece. "
"Right now, both Rackett and Ante are probing, but both sides have different purposes. Rackett has a clear goal, and Ante, I think the viscount just has a vague idea. "
Everyone in the room, including Oru, nodded their heads in conviction. Among them, the dragon looked at Edward with an imperceptible change. This youth of the same age as Allen had a calmness and rationality that Allen did not have. This was very rare for him at his current age.
"I have an idea for this support. In this battle, we have to repel Rackett's army and retain a certain amount of strength. Let Rackett not figure out our real situation, so that the ambitious Earl won't be able to stir up any more waves in the short term. So, everyone, if you have any suggestions, feel free to raise them. "
After Edward finished speaking, he handed the stage over to the people in the study. He was already extremely proficient in guiding the thoughts and emotions of the people below him. This approach was very necessary. Even if the ideas put forward by the people below did not have any value as a reference, they could be guided in the direction they wanted through various methods. In this way, even if the final result was far different from what they'd expected, it would still make them feel that this result was because of them. Taking action at this time would make them feel as if they were not only executing orders, but also realizing their own thoughts. This would greatly increase the enthusiasm of these core forces.
Allen did the same thing during the discussion, but he didn't understand it as clearly as Edward did.
Soon, Woody stood out and said, "Actually, it's very simple. Let me use Inch Fire. According to the information of the unicorn leader, the enemy had dispatched a total of about 500 troops. Among them were 100 Blood Wolf Knight and 400 Blue Wolf Infantry. It won't be difficult for Inch Fire to eat this amount of troops. "
If someone outside Allen's circle heard this, they would probably think that Woody was bragging. Rackett's Blood Wolf Knight's combat strength was not necessarily strong, but it was also the force that the count had carefully nurtured. A hundred Blood Wolf Knight was not so easy to eat, not to mention hundreds of infantry. However, during the Battle of Blue Wilderness, Daniel's elite Knight Battalion was crippled by Inch Fire. Therefore, those who knew about this battle didn't think there was anything wrong with Woody's words.
'"Inch Fire is our trump card. It won't be difficult to eat Rackett's army. But what about after that? If Rackett were to discover that we could easily destroy his army with less than a hundred troops, how do you think he would react? " Edward swept his calm gaze across the crowd. "I think there are two possibilities. One is a strong curiosity about our army and equipment; the other is fear. However, neither of these reactions is the best outcome. The former will definitely do everything possible to dig out the secrets of Inch Fire. The latter will probably go against everything and allow Earl Rackett to join forces with other allies to attack us and completely erase this fear."
"I heard that the Earl has an ally named Kent, who is also an Earl. If the two Earls work together, even if we can defeat them in the end, it will only be a tragic victory. But next, through the mouths of these two Earls, more and more people will be interested in us. At that time, more enemies will besiege us like sharks that smell blood, and that is definitely not what Lord Allen would like to see. "
Woody pondered for a moment and nodded, "It seems that using Inch Fire is indeed not a good idea. I wonder what Sir Edward suggests? "
Before Edward could reply, the dragon beside him took a step forward and said, "Send out the same number of ordinary troops and display a higher level of strength than the other party." We don't need to cripple them, we just need to repel them and let Earl Rackett see the damage to the army. Then if he wants to go further, he has to be prepared. And this preparation can already buy us a lot of time. "
"On the other hand, it's just a little bit stronger, so it's not enough to make the other party feel fear or curiosity."
Edward nodded and said, "Mr. Long is right. I think so too. However, I want to add one more detail. This time, we will bring our Thunder God Cannon and Thunder Flame Heavy Rifle. First, we can review their actual combat quality. Second, we can also publicize our weapons workshop through the dissemination of kind-hearted people. "
The dragon frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Rackett will buy these two weapons from us through someone else and then deal with us …"
His worries were not unfounded, but Edward said, "It doesn't matter. Originally, these two weapons still had some flaws. When our new weapons workshop is put into use, new weapons will come out. At that time, we will sell these two weapons. "
Thus, the matter was settled. This time, a mixed team of the King Of Mountains, Dark Blade, and Inch Fire was mobilized. There were about a hundred of them. He sent out another four hundred infantry to form an army equal to the enemy. At dawn the next day, he left Dawn Castle and headed for the unicorn territory. Woody presided over this battle, and Broy also accompanied the army. With these two people in charge of the army, it was enough to restrain the experts in the enemy's army.
When this army left, Lance was sleeping soundly in the temporary camp in an unknown wilderness far away in the unicorn territory, but he was woken up by the soldiers sent by Hilo. The viscount, who had just had a beautiful dream, was woken up and was very upset. He only snorted when he heard a person's name. He reluctantly lifted the quilt and rubbed the chest of a beautiful naked woman beside him. Only then did he sigh, change his clothes, and walk out of the tent.
When he arrived at Hilo's tent, a person was talking to Hilo about something. Lance coughed dryly. The man turned around and immediately put on a flattering smile. "Good morning, Lord Lance."
"Not good at all, Sir Glar. When did you arrive? "
This man was Viscount Grar, but today he had completely changed his outfit and dressed himself as a business-like man. Moreover, he had carefully darkened the skin of his face and hands with some paint, so that it would be difficult for people who were not familiar with him to recognize him.
"I just arrived. As soon as I received Lord Lance's message, I made some arrangements and set off. May I know what Lord Lance's plan is this time? " Glar asked carefully. The deal between him and Rackett was mainly completed through the young viscount in front of him. To him, Lance was a golden master and could not be easily offended. Even his tone of voice had to be careful, afraid that he would be unhappy.
Lance stretched and waved his hand, "Come on, Sir Glar, of course, is more familiar with the environment and people here than we are." This time, Earl Rackett wanted to teach the unicorn leader a lesson. He wanted to teach them a lesson that they didn't know how to appreciate favors. They actually teamed up with an unknown baron and refused to accept the count's kindness. My plan is very simple. I'm going to move into Unicorn Castle. What do you think, Sir Glar? "
"This …" Glar smiled dryly and said, "It's naturally good to have the Lance people in charge. However, if the unicorn leader and Sir Allen form an alliance, I'm afraid Sir Allen's army will interfere."
"So what? Could it be that the Blood Wolf Knight I brought with me is a good-for-nothing? Besides, with General Hillo this time, Sir Glar, do you think I'll lose even then? "Lance said disapprovingly.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Glar took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his face. "Lord Lance, it's better not to underestimate Sir Allen. As far as I know, Baron Allen has many experts under his command, and his army is extremely powerful. It's far from being comparable to an ordinary Sir's army. However, Lord Lance has come at a good time. The baron is not in his own territory right now. The one who manages his territory is another brat. "
"Oh, that's a pity. I still want to meet that arrogant Sir again. "Lance said hatefully. The scene of him being chased out of Unicorn Castle by Allen that day was still vivid in his mind. Even now, that humiliation still lingered in his heart.
"Alright, Sir Glar. You don't have to worry about the battle here. It's General Hillo's job to worry about. Let's talk about Earl Gills. Do you think he's willing to accept some of Earl Rackett's kindness? "Lance said meaningfully.
"Earl Gills is young, but very motivated," Glar said in a deep voice. "Earl Gills has already paved the way for him, and with the Ridley family's heritage, I don't think Earl Rackard will be able to move him."
